Author: Elizabeth Reed Hymnal: Christian Hymns #49 (1935) Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns First Line: O do not let the word depart Lyrics: 1 O do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light,
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart,
Be saved, O tonight.
Chorus:
O why not tonight?
O why not tonight?
Wilt thou be saved?
Then why not tonight?
2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, O then be wise,
Be saved, O tonight. [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved, O tonight. [Chorus]
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, O tonight. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O do not let the word depart]
O Why Not To-Night?
